The Village of Bourbonnais posts a 2026 zoning map on its planning and zoning page. Before leasing a bay, check that auto repair is allowed in that district or needs a special use permit. The Bourbonnais Planning Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals holds the public hearings on rezoning, special uses, planned unit developments and variations, and meets on the fourth Thursday of each month (villageofbourbonnais.com, checked 2026-10-24).
A build-out adds a building permit; the village's Building Department posts a building permit application and a plan review form. Budget the permit, the contractor's bid and the lift installation before asking for money.
